Chapter 809: Playing a Big Game
Hearing this, a chubby bald guy present frowned slightly, and said loudly: "This is dangerous, if they are allowed to set industry standards, it is equivalent to stucking the necks of all of us, if we don't follow their standards, we won't even have the opportunity to participate in the game in the future, and once the entire market recognizes their standards, we are very likely to fall behind in the patent battle, and in the future in the Internet field, we will have to pay huge intellectual property costs." ”
It can be said that the cost of intellectual property rights has always been an advantageous project in the field of the Internet in the United States, and a large number of American Internet companies are taking advantage of this advantage to be in an absolute leading position in the international Internet competition.
If New Dream Group had created the next generation of the Internet and developed a set of industry standards, the situation would have been completely different.
At that time, New Dream Group will become the dominant player in this Internet system, and a large number of American Internet companies will suffer in this system.
"Under the current circumstances, it has become very difficult to suppress the New Dream Group, and I have to admit that Li Feng is indeed a rare talent in the international Internet field, and it is precisely because of his existence that a large number of Internet infrastructure providers have begun to move closer to the surroundings of the New Dream Group. Weiner continued to fan the flames, "So for me, the time is very short, we have to unite and quickly develop our own smartphone products, and have our own position in the competition of the next generation of mobile Internet, if this is not done, then we do not understand that the Internet leadership in the market will be quickly dismantled by the New Dream Group." Maybe in a few years, this Chinese Internet company will win the world, and at that time, we will no longer have a chance to compete with him. ”
For many Internet tycoons here, the current situation is indeed very grim, and they never dreamed that their leading edge in the Internet field would be completely destroyed by the New Dream Group in such a short period of time.
If you haven't found a business model for the next generation of Internet technology after the next generation of Internet technology matures, then not only will you not be able to take the lead in the next generation of mobile Internet China, but you may even have your own business model completely crushed.
"It's not that we don't have technology, it's just that we didn't expect New Dream Group to move so quickly, and in that case, we should act quickly. I propose that we co-fund the establishment of a dedicated smartphone R&D company to develop our smartphone products and meet the challenges of the New Dream Group in the future. "According to our calculations, the cost of setting up a simple smartphone research and development company is about 100 million US dollars, and if we want to mobilize the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and better control each link, the total cost will increase by about 10 times, about 1 billion US dollars." ”
Although one billion dollars is a lot of money, it is not a big number for the Internet and investment bigwigs here, and everyone is jointly invested, and everyone's capital contribution will not be too large, and the major shareholders may not exceed 100 million US dollars, so it is just a small meaning.
The problem now is that it is quite difficult to really develop reliable smartphone products, and the American market has been exploring, but it has never succeeded, or in other words, there is still a long way to go from success.
However, since the new dream group has been successfully developed, it shows that with the current technical conditions, this road is still possible.
"Since we want to fight against the new products of the New Dream Group, I think we should control the entire smartphone industry chain, including the entire mobile communication infrastructure, it doesn't matter if the current cost is higher, we are buying the ticket to the new generation of Internet in the future." Xu Jinlin said, "If you just develop smart phones, it is not enough to compete with the new dream group, Li Feng's layout is all-round, as far as I know, they have not only built a huge partner community in the hardware field, but also in the field of smart phone software, have begun to make efforts, most of the mainstream Internet applications under their group, have been developing operating applications for smart phones." ”
Xu Jinlin said to the point of the problem, smart phones are the infrastructure of the future, not a profit point, and the real profit point is based on the huge Internet application system derived from the smart phone operating system.
Therefore, smartphones can not make money, and the operating system can also be free, as long as the stall is spread out and enough users can access the next-generation Internet system built by New Dream Group, then a large number of Internet applications they provide will become a profit point.
"You have a point, they move very fast and are interlocking, and once this combination punches are out, the wind of the market will immediately turn. They don't have much advantage in the international market right now, they are at best a player, but if everyone is using their smartphones, then they can easily expand their business network to the rest of the world. "At this point, we are very experienced in the American market, after all, the first generation of the Internet began with us." ”
The more the Internet bigwigs at the scene listened, the more panicked they became, because the Internet field is not as good as the physical manufacturing industry, it is invisible and intangible, once the wind changes, maybe overnight, their companies will face a situation of no income.
Don't look at everyone who is huge rich now, but this is based on the recognition of their respective companies' Internet profit models, many people's wealth is only paper wealth, once the company's business model has problems, the stock may fall quickly, and the wealth will be wiped out.
"I think it's going to work, and we have to do it right away, otherwise it's too late. At the venue, I thought that the young Internet tycoon in his thirties immediately responded.
"I also think it's feasible, but in terms of investment amount and equity allocation, I hope everyone can be even, our company's capital is not much, but we can contribute some technology. Another skinny guy touched his chin and said.
"Yes, everyone has the money to contribute, and the strength to contribute, this matter is not impossible, the key is to see our determination. "As long as everyone is determined, I believe that within six months, we will be able to produce results." ”
